Ritchie gave me a lesson when he done mine with me,
That was a while ago though so wouldnt be too confident,
will still come and help if needed.

Not got your number ritchy maybe you could talk me through it and jog my old memory I remember undoing the bleed screw and pumping the pedal three or four times and repeating until the air is purged am I on the right lines?

Can help out on Sunday mate, not bothered with the old firm game,,
it's gonna be a riot in the pubs so Im keeping away from them.
late afternoon sound good ?

Sounds fine to me just send a wee text when you are ready mate. The brakes arent that bad so shouldn't really be a hassle the pedal is just a wee but spongy so should bleed pretty easily.just need to remember what I am doing lol.

Pump it until clean fluid comes out, then refill the fluid reservoir. Then move to the opposite wheel. I believe there is an order in which do them also...

FL, RR, FR and RL I think. Or was it FR, RL, FL and RR?
Unless you're done it recently get a can of decent fluid and change the lot while your at it.
